It is the recognition by man's higher nature of sources of comfort and hope beyond anything that sense-knowledge discloses. It is the consciousness of a Divine Father toward Whom goes out all that is in affection and highest in moral aspiration; it is the premonition of a future life of which the best attainment here is but the twilight promise. In our day, the sudden and vast revelation of material wonders unsteadies and dims for the moment the spiritual sight; but the stars will shine clear again.  The truth-seeking spirit and the spirit of faith, instead of being opposed, are in the deepest harmony. The man whose faith is most genuine is most willing to have its assertions tested by the severest scrutiny. And the passion for truth has underlying it a profound conviction that what is real is best; that when we get to the heart of things we shall find there what we most need. Faith is false to itself when it dreads truth, and the desire for truth is prompted by an inner voice of faith.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An evil gain equals a loss. [Lat., Lucrum malum aequale dispendio.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17143]]></link><description><![CDATA[An evil gain equals a loss. [Lat., Lucrum malum aequale dispendio.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17143</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing good ever comes of violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60664]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing good ever comes of violence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60664</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That would make this particularly disheartening. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32298]]></link><description><![CDATA[That would make this particularly disheartening.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32298</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the mother had not beene in the oven, shee had never sought her daughter there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49514]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the mother had not beene in the oven, shee had never sought her daughter there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Acquaintance is a degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor and obscure, and intimate when he is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/401]]></link><description><![CDATA[Acquaintance is a degree of friendship called slight when its object is poor and obscure, and intimate when he is rich and famous.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/401</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We use the outdoor elements to attract the boys to scouting, and when they attend weekly meetings and do community ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39659]]></link><description><![CDATA[We use the outdoor elements to attract the boys to scouting, and when they attend weekly meetings and do community service projects, they don't realize they're learning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59785]]></link><description><![CDATA[The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You cannot know wine by the barrell. [You cannot know the wine by the barrel.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50131]]></link><description><![CDATA[You cannot know wine by the barrell. [You cannot know the wine by the barrel.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50131</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63054]]></link><description><![CDATA[The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Human and human-minded as men were, therefore, to whichever side ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of St. Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, Teacher, 373  Human and human-minded as men were, therefore, to whichever side they looked in the sensible world, they found themselves taught the truth. Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61594]]></link><description><![CDATA[To deny the freedom of the will is to make morality impossible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pray, what flowers are these? The pansy this,  O, that's for lover's thoughts. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45438]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pray, what flowers are these? The pansy this,  O, that's for lover's thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, the lovely fickleness of an April day! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2983]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, the lovely fickleness of an April day!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have brains in your head.
